Since the introduction of Quantimet in the early 1970s, imageĪnalysis of soil pores and aggregates have been the main areas View, thus creating a new way of studying this feature. Matrix optical anisotropy was detected at 256 levels and plotted as a three-dimensional perspective Overall procedure allowed the combination of brightness and shape classifications. Reliability of the procedure was tested against point counting and was found to be successful. Thereby improving the classification on which a morphological analysis was conducted. Transformation, classification procedures, morphological analysis and modelling of bi-dimensionalĪs a special procedure, principal component images were included in the multilayer images,

It was then possible to carry out a series ofĮxperiments including geometric corrections, creation of multilayer images, principal component Obtained from different horizons were digitized. Using different wavelengths and light polarizations, microscopic images of thin sections (ii) to identify some complex soil features.
